Rajya Sabha elections 2022: How BJP surprised opponents in 3 states, got 9 seats in kitty

The voting for 16 Rajya Sabha seats were held on June 10, while the results in case of Haryana and Maharashtra could only be declared several hours past midnight. The BJP sprang a surprise on the Congress in Karnataka and Haryana, winning an extra seat in both the states. In Karnataka it got three of its candidates elected, while in Haryana, it supported independent candidate Kartikeya Sharma as its second nominee. Sharma trounced Congress candidate Ajay Maken by a wafer thin margin. In Maharashtra too, the BJP was able to defeat Shiv Sena’s second candidate and win 3 of the 6 seats on offer. It was only in Rajasthan that CM Ashok Gehlot was able to put the BJP on the mat. Here, BJP could not get independent candidate and media baron Subhash Chandra elected to the upper house as Gehlot ensured that all his MLAs vote as per plan.
